The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Duck Creek Policy no pricing published on vendor website; enterprise solution requires custom engagement; EIS Group implementations run for years and the integrator you choose determines whether the programme lands, so a strong software evaluation with a weak partner selection still fails.
  • They diverge on capability: Duck Creek Policy covers Policy lifecycle management, EIS Group covers Group and voluntary benefits.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Duck Creek Policy

  • No pricing published on vendor website; enterprise solution requires custom engagement
  • Modular product architecture means customers can mix/match components, making standard pricing impossible

EIS Group

  • Implementations run for years and the integrator you choose determines whether the programme lands, so a strong software evaluation with a weak partner selection still fails.
  • The name recognition gap against Guidewire and Duck Creek means your reinsurers, auditors and incoming executives will ask you to justify the choice repeatedly over the life of the system.
  • Benefits strength does not transfer to personal lines, where you are comparing on general capability and the incumbents have more comparable references.
  • The microservices architecture that makes the platform flexible also raises the operational bar; carriers without a mature platform engineering function end up paying the vendor or an integrator to run it.
  • Licence costs are quoted per programme and scale with premium or policy volume, so a book that grows faster than forecast produces a renewal conversation you have little leverage in.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Duck Creek Policy: How much does Duck Creek Policy cost?

Duck Creek does not publish pricing. Policy is an enterprise solution for insurance carriers where implementation scope, data migration complexity, and customization requirements determine total cost of ownership. Interested prospects must contact Duck Creek's sales team through their 'Talk to Sales' call-to-action.

EIS Group: Who is EIS actually best for?

Carriers writing group or voluntary benefits, where the alternative is heavy customisation of a property and casualty platform that was never designed to model an employer group.

Duck Creek Policy: Is Duck Creek Policy a modular system?

Yes, customers can adopt Duck Creek products individually (Policy, Rating, Billing, Claims, etc.) or in combination. This modularity means pricing varies based on which products and integration depth customers require.

Source
EIS Group: Can it run in our own cloud account?

Yes. It is container-based and is deployed in customer-controlled cloud tenancies as well as the vendor cloud, which matters for carriers with data residency obligations.

EIS Group: How much of the outcome depends on the integrator?

Most of it. Budget for the delivery partner as the larger line item and check references for the specific practice team, not the firm.
